Have You Done Anything Crazy With Your Camaro Yet?
Burnouts? Drifting?
I've done burnouts. I'm gonna try drifting with my automatic SS. I think I got the basics down.

Ummmm nope. And won't be either. Have to much invested and to much common sence to tear up a vehicle. To each his own tho. If it's yours and your money go for it.

burnouts is about it, not sure about crazy but this was scarry, the other day I got on it and through first and second gear I could feel it switch between loosing traction and then hooking up and then at 60 MPH started to get a little sidways so I let up before I pooped my pants.

its strictly for the thrill, or the enjoyment. A few burnouts wont hurt the car, its not fragile like an itallian super car. Its american muscle and its buit to be tough

to me the car is made for burnouts, hence the traction control button. But if you can't afford a new clutch or tranny though then yeah I would avoid all burnouts and hard accelerations and never take it over 3K RPM's, and never step on the gas hard if you are worried about breaking something. But to me that's the only reason to get an SS, what good is the HP if you never use it. Pedal to the metal, if something breaks fix it

I parked mine outside of the garage once...thats about as crazy as I've gotten.. poor thing... Jk A burnout once... I learned my lesson from my challenger.. Replacing tires every 2-3 months adds up... seeing how my tires are $450 each.
